Pit Stop - Rebel intermission event

[Cocohop]

A @Cocohop & @Shimac's Stew production

"Nullwick, you're sure you've packed enough fuel for all three ships?"
"I do not miscalculate."
"I 'unno, just feels like we might run out soon."
"Keep driving, we will make it to Vladivostok soon."

*1 Hour later*


"The fuel we have is not sufficient to reach Vladivostok. I did not take into account the damage Ship Two took during that collision."
"..."
"..."
"You miscalculated."
"Indeed."
"...So uh, what's the idea?"
"I believe there is an island nearby. A former Civil Workers Union Zone, abandoned now."
"Gather eight volunteers from Ship Two, and send them to the Island."

Character name: Melissa "Celt" O'Riley
Brief character summary: A former Tier-5 doctor hailing from City-24's CMRU, she was found guilty on trumped up charges of medical malpractice and sentenced to imprisonment within Nova Prospekt. Several months into her sentence, Major Livio Spengler handpicked her for the newly formed "Guardians of Saleve", pressed into service as a conscript she resented every moment of it being known for causing fights and upheaval within the unit. It'd all come to a head one day following an incident with an Ensign to which she nearly killed, after narrowly avoiding the firing line she was sent out on yet another patrol, or so she thought eventually being freed from her indentured servitude with her bomb collar removed, taking up arms alongside The Sentinels.

Character name: Yirh'Bii'Vasili

Brief character summary: Vas'Kradili, now known as Yirh'Bii'Vasili, was once a Vortigaunt with olive green skin and blue eyes. They lived their life peacefully for some time before eventually ending up far away from its home world. For a long time they lived alone, incapable of finding more of their kin in this new world it found itself in as those who were sent to earth besides them were already captured or killed long ago. Years passed by before Vas'Kradili was located by a passing Combine led patrol, leading to the Vortigaunt's capture. Long had they served under the boot of its enslaver, but then the infestation grew again within industrial 24. The spore clouds caused the connection with OCIN to be lost, and Vas'Kradili took this chance to free themselves and return to a life of comfort among its kin. One day, during a freeing of another of their kin within the outlands, Vas'Kradili was killed, but reanimated into a new body and forced to serve its new master. Their old tribemates came to his rescue and set him free, but at a cost. Vas'Kradili's mind was destroyed and could only be recovered by becoming coterminous.... We are, coterminous!

Steam name: Bounter

Character name: Tadeusz "Grom" Wachnicki
Brief character summary: A Polish man of average height, with a slight stubble, green eyes, and brown hair (both on beard and head), with a relatively tired expression, almost as if he is half-asleep, but never actually asleep (usually). A veteran of the City 14 Uprising fights, and a former semi-officer member of the Resistance in there, who besides combat, partook often in repairs, and also obtaining and making food for the fighters in the area. After the fights ended, Tadeusz left and traveled around the former continent of "Europe" around the place, until he arrived at C24 to a slight-pit-stop. Which ended after i24 went to hell, forcing him and others to evacuate to the Outlands, which also ended poorly (his convoy got hit with an avalanche). After that situation, and "joining" the Leucocytes (officially in City 8), he and rest of the Rebels, arrived at City 8 via. sea travel. Ever since, Leucocytes have been partaking in numerous actions, and Tadeusz himself, has been busy obtaining resources and... Cooking. For himself, and the people of the slums and rebels. In general, trying to keep a low profile, and help however he can.

Character name: Jay Crane
Brief character summary:
A child of the war with little to no memories from before the end of the world, doing his best to live his life according to a simple rule imprinted on him by his adoptive parents: Leave this world a better place than you found it.
His optimistic ideals and perhaps somewhat naive mindset tend to get him into trouble. Before the hasty departure from City 8, he found himself in way over his head, embedded in the City as an undercover operative for the Leukocytes with the goal of infiltrating the Ministry of Enlightenment. He was last seen boarding a boat at the edges of the Outlands, accompanied by a headcrab riding on his back and a handful of shady characters around him.

Character name: Jonas Marshall - The Administrator (I will be administrating)

Brief character summary:
Jonas Marshall, the dedicated HR Administrator at William Networks, faced significant challenges both professionally and personally. His role at the roleplay gaming firm required him to navigate the complexities of employee relations, recruitment, and organizational development, all while maintaining a positive and productive workplace environment. However, the War in the East took a heavy toll on Jonas, leaving him emotionally drained and struggling to find solace.

Despite the turmoil, Jonas found a unique and fulfilling way to cope with his stress: he immersed himself in the vibrant world of roleplay gaming. At William Networks, Jonas was surrounded by a community of passionate role-players who shared his love for storytelling and adventure. During his free time, Jonas sought out his fellow role-players, joining them in epic quests and fantastical adventures that provided a much-needed escape from reality.

Through these immersive roleplaying sessions, Jonas not only reconnected with his colleagues on a deeper level but also found a sense of camaraderie and support that helped him navigate the difficulties of his job and the emotional aftermath of the war. The creativity and camaraderie he experienced during these sessions rejuvenated his spirit, allowing him to return to his HR duties with renewed energy and focus.

In essence, Jonas Marshall coped with the stresses of his job and the impact of the War in the East by embracing the world of roleplay gaming, finding solace, friendship, and joy in the shared adventures with his fellow role-players at William Networks.

TLDR - Let me in...

Character name: Samantha 'Wildcard' Wilde

Brief character summary: STEAM_0:1:6533079

A veteran of the Great Culling and the Eastern Uprisings. Forcefully conscripted from the East Coast American refugee zones during the Great Conscription of 2005, she was sent east to the former lands of China and India as a henchman for the occupant. There she saw, witnessed and participated in the Culling of her own people. Never to see her homeland again, she was sent to West Europe following the end of the Culling and the disbandment of the occupant's paramilitary. Disillusioned by her experiences, she fell into a crowd of dissent. After nearly eight years, she has become a symbol beneath the underground to some, but to a great cost of lives of those dear to her - and to her own mental health..
